House Minority Leader John Boehner torched President Barack Obama Wednesday for his European trip to pitch the Chicago Olympics bid, criticizing the president for "going to go off to Copenhagen when we've got serious issues here at home that need to be debated."
Obama's trip has been maligned by most Republicans as the health care overhaul remains in a continued state of flux in Congress and the top general in Afghanistan awaits word on a troop increase.
The White House first said it was
unlikely that Obama would go to Denmark because he thought it important to help push health care through Congress.
( I love the Olympics but at this time should a sitting President go and try to get the games to come to Chicago. President Obama shouldn't forget he is the President of the good old USA not the Mayor of Chicago. Read more on this story
